Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to provide information about the 
amount of annuity payable after a survivor reduction, to explain the 
annuity reductions required to pay for the survivor benefit, and to 
give the beginning rate of survivor annuity. RI 20-64A, Former Spouse 
Survivor Annuity Election, is used by the CSRS to obtain a survivor 
benefit election from annuitants who are eligible to elect to provide 
survivor benefits for a former spouse. RI 20-64B, Information on 
Electing a Survivor Annuity for Your Former Spouse, is a pamphlet that 
provides important information to retirees under the CSRS who want to 
provide a survivor annuity for a former spouse.
